Praise for Across a War-Tossed Sea
"Likable protagonists and a fascinating historical backdrop combine for a story well-told."
-Kirkus Reviews

"Serious issues of intolerance (religious freedom in Europe, racism in America, cruelty to German POWs) permeate the story without overwhelming it, making this a breezy and enlightening read. The occasional letters from the brothers to their father overseas are a nice touch, portraying an accurate kid's-eye-view of a terrible time in history."
-Booklist

"This historical novel would be a perfect fit for any collection seeking to engage readers in conversations around race, culture, and equality in America."
-School Library Journal

Praise for Under a War-Torn Sky
"An emotional, action-packed gem! Elliott paints a picture of war that we don't often see, one that is away from the battles, showing life and death in a war-ravaged land. An engrossing thrill-ride."
-KLIATT

"A powerful debut novel of adventure and salvation. Readers, young and old, will be moved by this fine book."
-Children's Literature

"It's packed with action, intrigue, and suspense, but this novel celebrates acts of kindness and heroism without glorifying war."
-Booklist

"Elliott's fluid style is woven together with vivid historical details from WWII, appropriate for adolescents who seek suspense-filled adventures."
